Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1988-2000 Chevy K2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide a significant upgrade over factory dampening. Engineered for the Chevy K2500 and GMC Yukon, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming for consistent performance on and off-road. The durable twin-tube construction is specifically designed to withstand impacts while maintaining a smooth, comfortable street ride for lifted applications.

Features

• Cross Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive engagement valving system provides increased control during high-speed impacts to ensure superior stability on rough terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The large 2.25-inch body diameter contains a low-pressure nitrogen gas charge which provides reduced oil foaming to ensure consistent damping performance.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot protects the polished chrome piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• High-Capacity Fluid: All-weather hydraulic fluid reduces friction and heat buildup to ensure reliable operation in extreme temperature environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift to ensure proper travel and performance.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55001_n106) includes two front shocks for a complete axle installation.
